This was not available to sample at my local Nordstrom. The Shiseido makeup artist said it was full coverage, heavy, and would look greasy by the end of the day. I took a chance and ordered it based on Nordstrom's return policy and WOW! Hands down my favorite foundation! It might not be perfect for summer (TBD), but I got so many compliments on my dewy, glowing skin this winter. It gave me great, even coverage that lasted all day and was NOT greasy. I have freckles and they still show through, but skin is even and plump and all redness is gone. See your local rep to figure out your color then ORDER THIS NOW! 

I have used quality cream foundations for years and when my specific brand of foundation color tint changed to a more orange tint, I looked into another alternative closer to my fair porcelain skin tone. I liked the reviews I read on Shiseido 'Future Solution Lx' Total Radiance Foundation and purchased a jar. Upon receipt, the fair light tint was what I was looking for but the coverage was not good and there were no emollients that I can see or feel that benefit my very dry skin. Needless to say, this cream foundation was returned.

I love this foundation it is beautiful on the skin has a satin finish in my opinion. I use my fingers blends very well and melts into skin like a cc cream. Has a scent to it but it doesn't last. It's not tacky or greasy it last all day I do powder as I do with all my foundations. I don't use a primer with this foundation I don't need it because this needs to melt in to your skin not sit on top. I do find that it softens my pores a little and didn't sit in my smile lines. let me say you won't know it's on your skin truly you won't. It's super light weight it has good coverage not full more light medium but I'm sure it can give more coverage if built up. I bought the n2 and is a perfect beige for me. This is a very unique foundation it truly melts in to your skin not sitting on top. Little goes a long way. If you are wondering if you should try it go for it. I'm obsessed with it. Less

This has become my holy grail foundation, and I've used most everything. I am fair with a lot of redness, normal skin with a little dryness, and very sensitive. I get nice coverage of my redness, it looks luminous and does not exaggerate pores as some foundations can do. I don't find it drying, actually find it moist, although other reviewers have mentioned they think it's drying. It's a great choice for a mature face. 

Shiseido Future Solution LX Total Radiance Foundation is Amazing! It glides on easily and never looks caked up. It lets my skin show through while still giving excellent coverage of acne scars and rosacea. It gives my skin a youthful glow! People have commented they didn't even know I was wearing anything on my skin. This foundation also feels amazing when applied. I can feel the moisturizing effect without any heaviness. It glides over my wrinkles and covers them completely while maintaining a sheer no make-up look. I would reccomend this foundation to anyone who wants great coverage in a sheer formula. It's well worth the price to look this healthy and glowing! It takes 10 years off my appearance and I look fresh faced and not wearing any thing on my skin. Ask for a sample of your correct color. Have the sales person put it in a little jar. You don't need much to cover your face. I'm so pleased with the Future Solution line. I use almost every product and my skin looks calmer, refreshed and youthfull again. « less
